Trip to England

Last week we were in England, which will be our last trip there for a while.

We travelled quite a bit of distance in our week there - visiting Newbury, Farnham Royal as well as Oxford and Wolverhampton.

We said a few farewells to some friends, and also had a family get together which was the first chance for Audrey to meet many of her cousins. Sadly time ran away with us in the end and there were a few people who we didn't get to catch up with who we would have loved to have seen before we headed 'down-under'.

We stayed with Garry and Kath in Newbury - whose kindness allowed us to stay in the posh surrounds of Donnington Square. We also said a sad farewell to Robin, Shan and their lovely family.

On Tuesday we journeyed up to Oxford to see Jon and Emma and their beautiful little boy Ben.

We spent the last part of the (somewhat rainy......it's supposed to be summer!!?!) week with Trevor's parents in Wolverhampton. While we were there we visited the Black Country Museum in Dudley which is definitely recommended if you ever find yourself in that part of the World.

Audrey also took part in a photo shoot for the forthcoming Wolves Merchandise Catalogue - which was very exciting - more of this in another post!

Unfortunately Audrey has returned from her holiday with a nasty cold and so we have been trying to comfort her and wipe her nose regularly (nice). We've been pretty lucky though really as it's the first cold she's had since she was a very little girl.

Here are some pics from our trip
